Chapter 149: Flowery and small, I want this——
"Uncle, I can't eat cream cake. I'll get sick."
Pei Tianci was afraid that Pei Hanchuan would be unhappy, so he still had a smile on his fair face, but his eyes revealed sadness and regret, and he carefully moved away from the beautiful cream cake.
Pei Hanchuan felt distressed when he saw the little boy like this.
He is so young, yet so sensible.
The last time Pei Tianci ate cream cake was on his birthday last year. The person who bought the cake was Pei Hanchuan again, who wanted his three-year-old nephew to taste the fresh and fashionable cream cake.
The sweet and soft cream immediately conquered Pei Tianci's taste buds.
Children have never been able to resist sweets. Pei Tianci not only ate happily, but also had a big appetite. The child who could only eat a small bowl of rice in the past ate two big cream cakes in a row and finished all the cream and cake base.
At that time, both Pei Hanchuan and Pei Mingzhu were very happy. After all, it was a good thing for children to eat more, and it was rare for Pei Tianci to have something he liked.
But……
That night, Pei Tianci started vomiting in the middle of the night and continued vomiting from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. He vomited out everything he had eaten at the birthday party, including the cream cake.
Finally, he vomited until there was nothing left to vomit, but he couldn't stop. All that came out was bile. His little face was pale and he was so weak that he couldn't even speak clearly. He could only curl up in Pei Mingzhu's arms, leaning against her pitifully.
He is just a poor little thing.
Pei Mingzhu didn't shed a tear when she got divorced. But when she saw Pei Tianci suffering and being unable to do anything, she couldn't help but tear up.
Pei Tianci stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently touched Pei Mingzhu's eyes, and said softly, "Mom, don't cry... I will never eat... I won't eat cream cake again..."
This incident left a deep mark in Pei Tianci's little heart.
So no matter how much he liked cream cake, he would never clamor to eat it. Even if Pei Hanchuan had already put the cream cake in front of him, he still shook his head and refused obediently.
It is this thoughtfulness and understanding that makes people feel the most sad and distressed.
Considering Pei Tianci's age and his status as the only heir of the Pei family for nine generations, even if he turned the sky upside down, Pei Hanchuan would help him and no one would really blame him.
But this child, on the other hand, felt sorry for everyone. He didn't want to make Pei Hanchuan unhappy, nor did he want to make Pei Mingzhu worry, so he would rather put aside his childish nature and not eat a bite of the cream cake.
While Pei Tianci was speaking, Pei Mingzhu on the other side of the study looked up from the accounts and looked at Pei Tianci who was being held by Pei Hanchuan.
Pei Hanchuan looked up and exchanged glances with Pei Mingzhu beside him.
He said loudly, "My Tianci is different from before. He hasn't been sick for almost a month. Have you forgotten that your uncle has been exercising with you every day recently? Haven't you coughed in a long time?"
This story starts from when Pei Hanchuan got the "prescription" from Chu Yue. From then on, Pei Hanchuan really put it into practice, changed his lazy style in the past, got up early every day, and accompanied Pei Tianci to practice the Eight Section Brocade and Five Animal Exercises on the "prescription".
It just looks like slow movements, similar to Tai Chi, and there is no immediate effect.
But time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the Lantern Festival, almost a month later.
Looking back, I suddenly realized that although Pei Tianci did not gain weight in this month, he did not get sick again. He did not even have a cold or fever when the weather was cold. He was always weak, but very healthy.
When Pei Hanchuan mentioned this, Pei Mingzhu frowned and thought about it, and found that it was true.
Is this the effect of strengthening the body?
Is that notebook with the picture of a little man really that powerful?
Pei Mingzhu fell into deep thought, and at the same time became more curious about the person who gave this "prescription".
Pei Hanchuan observed Pei Mingzhu's expression, and when he saw that Pei Mingzhu didn't speak to stop him, he immediately spoke even louder.
"Tianci, your health has improved and you're no longer sick. So it's okay to eat some cream cake. Uncle knows you like it very much. Let's have a little bit to taste it. It's a reward for your persistence in exercising for so many days. How about it?"
Pei Tianci's dark eyes shone inch by inch.
He was obviously moved, but he was still struggling inside.
Pei Tianci turned his head and looked at Pei Mingzhu beside him. Without saying anything, his pitiful eyes seemed to be asking, "Mom, can I eat?"
If Pei Mingzhu didn't agree, Pei Tianci would refuse without hesitation and would definitely not eat an extra bite.
Pei Hanchuan also looked at Pei Mingzhu and spoke up, "Sister, I spent two days and two nights without sleep carrying this cake all the way back. Can you bear not to let Tianci have a bite?"
One is my biological brother and the other is my biological son.
Pei Mingzhu finally compromised under the similar faces of the two of them and said helplessly, "Tianci, you can only eat a small piece."
Pei Tianci said excitedly, "Okay, thank you, Mom!"
"Sister, I know you won't be able to let Tianci down. Tianci, your uncle will cut the cake for you. Do you want one with small flowers or without?"
"I want little flower."
"Okay, uncle will cut some flowers for you. How about this one?"
"That flower is too big, this one is small, I want this one——"
Pei Mingzhu listened to their childish conversation, raised the corners of her mouth silently, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a simple notebook.
It was the one Chu Yue gave me.
She couldn't help but look through them again, her expression focused and serious. These little people pictures... are they really that amazing?
…
The other side.
Chu Yue was still chatting with the master craftsman in front of the shop under renovation, but the topic had shifted from cream cake to other things.
She asked, "Master, I see that you are such a good carpenter and those cabinets are so beautiful. Can you help me introduce a carpenter with the same skills as you?"
"What's the matter, little girl? Are your family members going to build a cabinet? Are they preparing to stock up on dowry when you get married?" The old master guessed based on Chu Yue's age.
Chu Yue shook her head. "No, look over there—the shop with the sign being removed is mine. Many things in the shop are old. I repair what can be repaired, and rebuild what can't. So I want to find a capable craftsman."
The old master looked in the direction Chu Yue pointed and saw that the sign of "Lao Zhou Tailor Shop" had been taken down.
The shop was being sublet. The old master had seen Hongzhi a few days ago. He didn't expect that someone would actually take it over, and it was such a young girl. It really shows that you can't judge a person by their appearance.
In order to renovate the store inside and out, it is necessary to add a few new cabinets and shelves, which together will bring in a considerable amount of income.
Isn’t this a job that comes right to your door!
The old master immediately said to Chu Yue, "You don't need to look for anyone else. I'll finish the work here in the next few days. I'll go back to your place and bring my apprentice with me. I guarantee that I can get it done for you within ten days."
Chu Yue had expected this to happen from the beginning. Introducing the master was just an excuse, so she was not surprised at all.
She said to the master, "Master, my shop is right there. Come over and we can discuss the quantity and price."
"Okay! Aunt... no, boss! You, the boss, should be straightforward! I'll come over right away." The old master said happily, and he looked particularly energetic.
